Description

Logicomix: An Epic Search for Truth This graphic novel tells the story of philosopher Bertrand Russell's spiritual odyssey as he searches for absolute truth. Russell's pursuit of unshakable logical foundations of mathematics takes him on a journey that spans love, hate, peace, and war, and ultimately drives him to the brink of insanity. Through Russell's inner struggles, the book explores the conflict between an ideal rationality and the flawed fabric of reality. With rich characterizations and expressive artwork, Logicomix brings to life the legendary thinkers who shaped Russell's thoughts, including Gottlob Frege, David Hilbert, and Kurt Gödel. A historical novel and accessible explication of big ideas in mathematics and modern philosophy, Logicomix is a thought-provoking tale that probes the complexities of Russell's inner world and the timeless questions that have driven him throughout his life.
